I think those are some excellent points, and I'm inclined to agree. What would you say to banning and retaining the history. Tweets all appended with "user banned for x"? Like a bar with photos of banned patrons.

I feel that if a victim is being harassed and / or abused then an authority should take action. This doesn't necessarily have to be the owner of a platform. For example, I would not expect the Royal Mail to stop delivering letters

I don't think banning (my assumption of your intention behind nuking) is the correct course of action. I just had a similar chain of thought at a story of a students union wanting to ban certain newspapers from the campus. My opinion i

Reading the first two lines made be expect a pronunciation clip in a language series on YouTube (blocked on the corp network). Then I saw Sol and Bad Boy Lincoln. I guess I'll watch Snatch tonight. For educational reasons.

I've seen both sides. I used to work for Capital One Europe, the UK side of the business that currently only does credit cards, until last year. I'd seen a mixture of some people leaving on good terms and some on bad terms, with n

I had a similar use for my 5X the other night. I was laid in bed and remembered a task I needed to do the next day but would likely forget by morning (terrible memory). An "OK Google" followed by "Remind me to do x tomorrow&q

This is the line my previous employer used when I notified them I'd received a counter before joining them. They then did the exact same thing when it came to me leaving and didn't offer a significant raise until I had an offer el

Not sure why you're getting downvoted; the point around these services being opt in seems valid.

Surely that would just lead to companies that own lots of smaller companies? (Aware this is already the case on a different scale) And then communication gets completely dredged between companies as there are so many to work with?

Last place I was at the payback was pro-rata, so there was no real incentive for firing on that basis.

It's an excellent book that I highly recommend. A lot to get through but it never gets difficult to read, and they (David Farley co-authored) include many anecdotes of when things have gone both right and wrong to demonstrate the point

When I completed Hackerrank tests for my last role, I used an IDE and then copied and pasted the code into the browser. This gave the benefit of a familiar working environment, and I could quickly TDD as needed. I highly recommend this appr

This is how I prefer to use it as a tool. Rather than set up difficult questions and test some algorithm that can be found with a decent google, set up a small number of relatively straightforward challenges. This then filters out anyone wh
